HIGHLAND PARK ELEMENTARY ATTENDANCE OFFICE 512-414-2090

School begins Promptly at 7:45 am. Students must be INSIDE THE CLASSROOM at 7:45 a.m. Students who arrive in the classroom after 7:45 are TARDY. A TARDY student that arrives after 8:00 a.m. MUST go to the office and get a TARDY SLIP BEFORE he/she goes to class. ALL TARDIES ARE UNEXCUSED until the office receives documentation stating the reason* he/she was tardy (documentation must be submitted within 2 days). If documentation states an approved reason* the student's record will reflect a tardy on their record but it will be an excused tardy.

ABSENCE POLICY:

When a student is absent the parent/guardian must send a note to the office or email cc.luna@austinisd.org within 48 hours (2 days), the note/e-mail must list student's full name, date of birth, teacher's name and reason* for the tardy/absence. (If you have a physician's note stating that the student was out due to illness/treatment please submit it to the office(you may ALWAYS have the physician's office fax the note directly to the office, fax# 414-2626). If a student is absent 3 or more days, you must contact the school to notify CC Luna before 10a.m. no later than the third day.

As always, please feel free to call me anytime with any questions regarding your child’s attendance. I can be reached at 414-1305, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and via email at cc.luna@austinisd.org.

Thank you,
